Summary: Kagome worked in a small, boring diner. She was a waitress for a handsome man, who offered her a better job with his company...Her past has come back to haunt her. She's being chased by strange people. But why now? Please review!
A/N: Well I didn't get as many reviews as I normally do. That's okay. It's a quick one and much longer than the last. Just check back to my profile because I'm constantly updating it for you guys. You guys really deserve this. Hope you enjoy!
Last time"I can see you two are anxious to get to work so follow Miss Mayu to your offices." Sesshoumaru said as he sent them off.
"Kagome I can't wait for this date. Isn't Kouga cute?" Ayame whispered to Kagome on the way to their offices.
Kagome just smiled.
This date is going to be interesting.
Chapter EightKagome and Ayame were both given offices close to each other.
Ayame was visibly excited about this. She had a big smile on her face. Kagome wasn't sure if it was about the date or the job.
"Ayame, why are you so happy?" Kagome asked her.
Ayame's smile turned into a frown. "What are you talking about? I'm not happy." She said trying to hide her grin.
"Ayame you can't hide anything from me." Kagome said teasingly.
"Okay, I'm just happy about this date. You haven't been on a date in ages. Inuyasha seems to like you a lot." Ayame said.
"I know, but that's not all." Kagome said trying to get more out of her friend.
"All right, no, that's not all. I really like Kouga. He seems nice." She confessed with a slight blush.
"Oh so, you really like me?" Kouga said. He was standing in the doorway of Kagome's office, leaning on its frame.
Ayame spun around to see Kouga smiling at her. She blushed harder in reaction to his manliness. He was the only man she reacted to so fast.
"Ayame and I were just talking about our date later. You will be coming right?" Kagome asked him because it seemed like Ayame had lost her voice.
"I wouldn't miss it." He said while looking at Ayame. Kagome took this as her cue to leave.
"Well, I guess I should be going. We have to be at the science laboratory downstairs in twenty minutes. You two, don't mess up anything in here." At that Ayame blushed Kagome knew her too well.
"And please remember to close the door when you leave. It's already locked" she reminded them and closed the door.
"Twenty minutes." Ayame said to herself. Kouga walked towards her and grabbed her waist. He pulled her close to his big and hard chest.
"Oh." Ayame gasped. He was so firm against her. His arms, his chest, his thighs.
Kouga smiled. Everything about her was so feminine. He wanted her right there on the floor, so willing and hot. She was so soft and tempting.
He pressed his lips to hers softly at first. Then he became more demanding. He was losing his control rapidly.
The next thing she knew Kouga had left her standing in the office. He told her to wait in her office at lunch. And then he just left.
Ayame touched her lips. His kiss made her forget she was six, going on seven minutes late for Sesshoumaru. She practically ran to the labroatory on the second floor.
She got into the lab room quietly and stood next to Kagome. There were at least twenty other scientists there. Kagome, Ayame and Haku, who was standing away from them, were the youngest there.
"So...did you have fun?" Kagome whispered. Ayame just punched her. "Ouch! Well did you?" She urged. "What happened?" Kagome begged.
"We kissed." Ayame said.
"That's all?" Kagome was shocked. She thought Kouga was going to ravish her. Not just kiss her. At least that's what his eyes said.
"Well, he did say to meet him at lunch. Is that okay with you Kagome? You don't mind, right?" Ayame asked.
"Oh, of course not. Just make sure the next time you want to make out, do it in your own office." She teased. "Go out with him at lunch. I'll find someone to spend my lunch with." She continued.
The next three hours before lunch went by incredibly slow. Kagome received her assignment and quickly got to work. She saw Haku by himself and went to say hi to him.
His back was turned from her, when Kagome tapped his shoulder. "How is your assignment going?" she asked him when he turned to face her.
"Oh, it's going well, but a little slow. You?" Haku asked with a smile.
Before she could respond a woman with red lips came sauntering over.
"What are you doing talking?" She asked Haku. "And you get back to work!" she yelled at Kagome.
"Kagura, she just came to say hi to me." Haku tried to reason with his supervisor.
"No talking. Save it for your lunchtime. You two have jobs to do. And so do I. so get back to your stations." Kagura told them.
Kagome looked Kagura in the face. Her wine-coloured eyes looked so cold and threatening it scared Kagome. She realized that was the same woman she bumped into getting on the elevator. That's why she was getting such frigid attitude from her.
Kagome walked back to her counter slowly. Even though she knew the reason for such cold shoulder. Kagome was still perplexed.
Kagome didn't give this woman reason to hate her. At least she didn't think so.
She stopped to rest her mind of all the calculations and chemicals to talk to Ayame. She told her friend about her confrontation with Kagura. Ayame got really angry.
"The nerve of her. Who does she think she is?" Ayame seethed.
"Ayame don't do anything. She is a supervisor. Her rank is higher than ours. You don't want to get fired on our first week." Kagome told her.
"Yeah, I guess your right. But the next time she says something rude. I'm going to report her, all right?" Ayame told Kagome.
"Oh man, she's looking over here. I better get back. I'll talk to you later, okay? Bye." Kagome said as she walked back to her station quickly.
The next thirty minutes went by quickly. Five minutes until lunch and everyone was packing and cleaning up their spaces. Soon the lab was clean and empty of people.
Kagome was leaving her office to check out the lunchroom when she saw Ayame leaving the building with Kouga'' arm around her shoulders.
"They seem to be getting along well." Kagome said to herself as she watched them through a window.
Kagome found the cafeteria, it was small and plain. But something cooking smelled real good. She looked at the display bar. There were salads, cakes, and lasagna.
She ordered a piece of lasagna with a salad and drink. And as she was walking with her tray someone bumped into her. It was an old lady from behind the counter. She knocked all the food out Kagome's hands.
"Oh, child. Excuse me. I didn't see you. Come let me clean that for you." She said. "My name is Kaede. This meal is free." She said. Kaede was handing Kagome a fresh plate of food.
"No it's alright. I'm not very hungry anyway." Kagome lied. She was starving. But she could walk across the street to that little café and get a bagel.
"Well then, your next meal here is free. What's your name dear?" The old lady asked.
"My name is Kagome Higurashi, and thank you." Kagome said with a smile.
She left the lady cleaning the floor to wash her hands. Then she picked up her purse and coat to go downstairs.
She went into the lobby to leave when a young girl stopped her.
"You work here? You look pretty young." She said. This girl looked young herself.
"Girl, don't talk to strangers. Your fourteen and you still can't remember that." A little toady looking man scolded.
"Fine! Hi, my name is Rin and I'm fourteen. I go to Blue Ribbon High School, in the ninth grade." Rin said and looked back at the small man. "See Jaken, I'm not a stranger anymore. I was just asking a question." Rin yelled.
"Well, do you work here?" She turned back to Kagome.
Kagome smiled. "My name is Kagome. I do work here. This, actually, is my first day." Kagome said. "It's a pleasure meeting you, but I should get going. The lunch hour is only so long." Kagome added.
"Well, Sesshoumaru told me to wait for him. And he was going to take me out. You can come if you like." Rin said.
This girl is a little young for Sesshoumaru. "That's sweet of you, but I don't think I should." Kagome said trying to discourage Rin.
"He won't mind, I promise. Please say you'll come." Rin begged.
"Rin." Sesshoumaru's deep voice warned from the hallway behind Kagome.
"Hi, Sesshy. Can Kagome come with us? Please? She's nice." Rin asked.
Sesshoumaru was about to say no to Rin, but she gave him the sweet puppy dog eyes and he eventually gave in. "Fine, Rin. Kagome can come." He said and started to walk away.
"Thanks Sesshy." Rin called to his back. "Come on Kagome. Sesshoumaru hates to wait." Rin grabbed Kagome's arm and took her outside.
"Ah..." Kagome stuttered. She wanted to ask Rin if she and Sesshoumaru were an item. They certainly didn't look related. And if they were dating, Kagome would box his ears in. She's a minor. He's what! 23 years old and she's 14!
And just as if Rin had read her mind she opened her mouth. "Just tell me where you want to go. Sesshy's my older brother, he'll take us." Rin said.
"Brother?" Kagome whispered to herself.
"How about we go to that new French restaurant downtown." Rin suggested.
"Isn't that expensive?" Kagome asked.
"Sesshy can afford it." Rin replied. And soon they were on their way downtown.

A/N: Okay I didn't know where else to end it. So...there it is.
Thanks to:
caramelcutie567: I promise you that there will be no more short chapters like that. I was just in a rush to get something out. And I haven't updated in a long while. Thank you for reviewing it means a lot to me. Good luck with your story as well.
Roses Petal: I'm sorry about your dilemma. And I'm glad to give you some happiness, and I hope that you feel better soon. I know how it feels. Please continue to read this if it brings some kind of joy. Get better soon!Marianne: Thanks for the ideas, sweets. I already have an idea in mind. Glad you like it and as long as your hear now then I'm happy. Oh, lucky you! You have the nice warm sun of Florida. And I've got snow of Canada! When will spring start! Thanks!
Kimonolover: Hehe. Yes, yes. I will try harder. Thanks for the review!
Inukamisashi: Thanks, hon, your very helpful. I have an idea plotting in my head now. Glad you like it.Mirei Nochi: The truth is I wanted them to get together at the diner, but it didn't work out like that. I'm glad you still like it. It makes more sense when Kagome is mothering Shippo. It couldn't be Inuyasha if she wasn't. Yes, more Sesshy in this chapter and hopefully next. Thanks for the review.
Spirit-Hunter: Sure, I can do that. I hope this is better.
the fallen always falls: Well, this should explain everything.
Mysticalflame: Hey we're thinking along the same lines. I don't really want Kouga to be obsessed with Kagome. It wouldn't seem right, he has Ayame to be obsessed about. So, I'll think of something else for him and Ayame. As for Naraku, he is the bad guy after Kagome, but that's all I'll say this time.
Zinna and Lilly: You two are sweethearts. I'm glad you like this and I hope you continue to read it. As for your fifth review about Sango, I'm having trouble including her more and explaining her character. So for right now I'll just stick with Ayame. As for your fourth review I love Shippo, he's great in all fics. Please continue to read my story. Thanks for the review.
animewiz: Thanks!
